What we run, how we validate it, what happens to your material, and what our certificates do and do not claim.
USP <61>/<62> microbial limits · USP <71> sterility · USP <85> bacterial endotoxins · USP <232>/<233> elemental impurities · USP <467> residual solvents · USP <621> chromatography.
Q2(R2) analytical procedure validation · Q3C residual solvents · Q3D elemental impurities · Q1A(R2) stability testing. Every published method carries its own validation record.
Accreditation is in progress through the Standards Council of Canada. The day it is granted, this page will carry the certificate number and a link to the accreditor's public directory — so you can confirm it without taking our word for it.
The package is opened against your packing slip. Vials are counted, weighed and inspected. Condition on arrival is recorded — sealed, crimped, intact, or not. Every vial is photographed before anything is opened, and that photograph goes on your certificate.
Each sample receives a laboratory number that follows it through every bench, every instrument log and every data file. An auditor should be able to pick one shipment at random and trace it end to end without relying on anyone's memory.
Chemistry, microbiology and elemental work are physically separate benches with separate contamination controls. Each analysis runs against system suitability criteria; a failing suitability check invalidates the run, not the result.
Data is reviewed by someone other than the analyst who generated it. Nothing is released on one set of eyes. Failing results are reported as failures — we do not re-run a sample hoping for a better number.
Sample remainder is destroyed on completion with documented evidence, unless a written return arrangement is agreed in advance. For US clients this also satisfies the condition attached to temporary-importation entry.
Axiom does not manufacture, import, distribute or sell peptides, research chemicals or health products. A laboratory that also sells the product it tests has a conflict it cannot write its way out of.
We report what our instruments measured. A certificate from us is not a marketing authorisation, a Health Canada product licence, a DIN or NPN, an FDA clearance, or permission to sell, distribute or administer anything.
If USP says fourteen days, our certificate says fourteen days. Where we offer a faster alternative — rapid PCR sterility, for instance — it is labelled as the alternative it is, never as the compendial method.
A released COA is immutable. If a correction is genuinely required, we issue a new certificate with a new number that links to and supersedes the original. Both remain in the public register.
